08-March:
Beddoes bags St Louis title
Top seed Emma Beddoes
beat Kanzy El Dafrawy to take the Emerson RC Pro Series title at the
Racquet Club of St Louis, the tenth and biggest WSA win of her
career.
 Very
close first game with Kanzy taking an early 9-3 lead only to see
Emma slowly clawing her way back to level the score 9-9 Kanzy
getting the first game ball but losing out with a stroke to level
the game, two long rallies later the last point was also exchanged
via a stroke with Kanzy taking the first game 13-11 in 20 mins.
The first game took its toll on Kanzy as Emma extended the rallies
to good effect taking the second game 11-5.
 Kanzy
mounted a comeback in the thirs keeping the game level until 7-7,
but at that point it was clear that fatigue was a factor with Emma
taking the game 11-8.
The final game was a one sided affair as Emma
pulled away with the win and title 11-2.
"Really happy to get my biggest tournament win to date,"
said Emma, "it was a
tough final , Kanzy was obviously feeling the effects of yesterday's
semi final but she is a tough competitor and fought with all the
energy she had.”

05-March-15, Round One:
Seeds through to quarters in St Louis
 Top
seed Emma
Beddoes, following her big win in Chicago was back on court today in
St. Louis with a decisive win over Maria Toor Pakay.
”It can be a little tricky getting back up mentally after
a big win but I knew that Maria is tough to play so I had to be
sharp to get the win, that was the perfect way to get ready for the
next round.” Emma Beddoes
 In
the first matches of the evening session we saw the 2014 RC
Pro-Series champion Misaki Kobayashi take control of the
court and her opponent winning her first round by a comfortable 3-0
margin.
The second match was more of a one sided affair as Trinity No.1
Kanzy El-Defrawy dominated Ivonne Diaz 3-0.
 Second
seed Joshana Chinappa used all her experience to get by a
very determined Cecelia Cortez by a score of 3-0, Cecelia showing
improvement as the match progressed, just missing out in the last
game by a score of 12-10.
